A little Kyrgyz girl combs her hair while standing in a plastic basin after bathing in the village of Dordoi, some 20 km from the capital of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on Nov. 28. Local resident Arstan-Baike keeps this bath as a small family business, offering local residents a bath for one dollar per person. The village located near the biggest retail market in Central Asia lacks infrastructure and social facilities like schools, hospitals and baths. Arstan-Baike stokes his stove with used tires because of the wood shortage in the area.

Arstan-Baike cuts used tires with his daughters to fuel his bath stove in the village of Dordoi, Kyrgyzstan.
